Jeff’s POV

A surprise was waiting for me when I arrived at the police station after leaving Claire’s place.

My driver must have seen the urgency in my expression because he took shortcuts that I didn’t know about and drove as fast as he could without breaking any laws.

In no time at all, we were at the police station. I strode toward the station’s entrance with brisk steps, already rehearsing what I was going to say and how I was going to lay out every suspicion I had to the police without sou

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   Renewed hope

    Ashley’s POV “Well, they would want to trail you for several reasons I can think of off the top of my head. For starters, you were fucking both friends, one of whom was your supposed girlfriend, and then they caught you, after which you proceeded to house one of them. You opened your mouth to inform the police that you think both women were abducted from your residence.”“And so wh …”The man cut him off. “You keep taking unnecessary risks, like taking pictures of that woman and sending them to her boss, when the original plan was to off both women, stage their deaths, and forget about it. How long do you think the lie you told everyone about them being addicts is going to hold, especially if you keep sneaking around this place in the middle of the night like a damn thief? All that’s needed is for some nosy paparazzi or the police to follow you here, and the rest will be history.”My heart started beating fast with hope as I listened to the conversation. Will remained silent to all

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   The disagreement

    Ashley’s POVIt couldn’t have been more than a few days since I got locked up in the dungeon, but somehow I had lost track of time and didn’t know exactly how many days it had been.I had stopped crying. Crying didn’t do me any good. It only showed them how weak I was and made them go after me all the more like the bloodthirsty demons they were.Ever since Janet breathed her last, I had become empty, for lack of a better word. It was hours after she died before someone came to remove her body.I didn’t bother to look up when heavy footsteps echoed outside the cell, and the door creaked open, because I already knew why they were here.I was still sitting in the same position that I had been sitting for hours, holding on to Janet’s hand.The guard who opened the door came over to check on Janet, no doubt already knowing that she was dead.“Move,” he ordered me in a bored and annoyed voice, as if he was annoyed that Janet had had the nerve to die and give him the unwanted job of having t

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   A sense of urgency

    Jeff’s POVI scoffed under my breath, my grip tightening around the remote. I was a hundred per cent sure that this bastard was laying it on thick, yet none of the people who were interviewing him could see through him.The whole sad bit he was trying to portray felt rehearsed to me. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had stood in front of the mirror and practiced the exact way to look devastated.“There’s just something off about this guy,” I muttered.Eliza glanced at the screen, then back at me. “Off? How do you mean?”“Can't you see how fake he looks? He’s clearly overdoing the sadness and guilt. It doesn’t feel real to me.”Eliza directed her gaze back to the television and studied Will for a moment, but after a few seconds, she shook her head, unsurely.“I don’t know, Jeff. He seems genuine enough to me.”“Really? You don't think he's pretending and laying it on thick?” I asked her, frowning.“No, I don't. If something like that really did happen in his house, it would make

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   The declaration

    Jeff’s POVI went to my family home with Eliza, Jack, and Aurora. I had been here only once or twice ever since my dad died, because each time I came here, I was reminded of nothing but sickness and death … those of both my parents.This time around, though, it was different. Being here with my sister and the kids took my mind off things, at least to an extent.Luckily enough, Aurora took to Jack, and when she woke up, they began playing together like old friends, although the sadness was still evident in her expression.My gaze drifted away from the television, landing on the far side of the room, where they were currently playing. They were sprawled out on the floor, surrounded by the building blocks and other toys and games.Aurora’s earlier distress seemed to have disappeared, at least for now, for which I was most grateful.A small smile tugged at her lips as she carefully stacked one block on top of the other, while Jack animatedly tried to outdo her with an even taller structur

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   Inconsolable

    Jeff’s POVWill answered my question. “Unfortunately, I don't have CCTV cameras, but of course, after this whole thing, I’m going to get them and put them all over the property. Anyway, after seeing all that … ruckus, I had to call the police to report the whole thing. In fact, I couldn’t sleep at home and had to sleep in a hotel. Interestingly enough, this morning, I was asked to come here and was questioned for hours about something I know absolutely nothing about.”“I wonder why,” I drawled sarcastically. Will either didn't get my sarcasm, or he didn't care."They consider me a person of interest in Ashley's disappearance. Had it been I didn’t have my travel documents and the alibis showing that I was indeed out of the country these past few days, I’m sure I would have been fucked, no thanks to you.” "All that you have told me doesn't change anything. You still have to explain to the police how and why you threatened Ashley all those years ago."He didn’t dignify the words with a

    Jeff’s POV"Say her name again, and I swear to God I'll ignore the fact that we’re standing in front of a police station and beat the hell out of you!” I snarled at Will.Something suspiciously close to satisfaction briefly flickered in his eyes. "Hey! Calm your tits, man. I'm only telling you the truth. I know you're in love with her, and that’s why you’re behaving so irrationally. Anyway, at least you now understand what I was going through back then when I was madly in love with Claire,” he retorted, calmly removing my hand from his shirt with slow, deliberate moves, and smoothing out the wrinkles.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to remember that I shouldn’t ...couldn't act irrationally, but goodness, this guy was so infuriating! I felt eyes on us, and when I looked past Will, I saw that some officers were watching us closely. I knew exactly what Will was trying to do. He wanted me to lose my cool, so I would look insane to the officers, or maybe even get arrested, but I was

Eliza must have noticed my reactio
